Science Department-wide aims for Sem 1 to be specifically addressed via Curriculum Mapping:
Data Analysis & Greening As you might guess, these two goals were selected from a more extensive list of ideas.The factors used to make these selections were:
Feasibility—how well would/do they work within our current curriculum Depth/breadth—how other identified ideas/goals could be subsumed within each selection Need—how useful might these be to further departmental pedagogical goals and be useful to student’s in the long term
